背面描述	Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered in high relief with careful attention to facial features and helmet crest. The goddess's hair falls in waves beneath the helmet brim, and the cheekpieces of the Corinthian helmet frame her face. Behind the neck, a vine branch bearing two grape clusters and three leaves serves as a distinctive civic badge of Leukas. The ethnic legend ΛEY appears in the field, identifying the issuing city.

附加信息	Leukas occupied a strategically awkward position — technically an island only because the Corinthians cut a canal through the narrow isthmus connecting it to the Akarnanian mainland, probably in the seventh century. That colonial relationship with Corinth explains the Pegasos coinage type entirely: Leukas adopted it directly from its metropolis and maintained it with unusual consistency across nearly two centuries of production. The specific dies placing this piece in the 375–350 window correspond to a period when Leukas was repeatedly dragged into conflicts between Sparta, Athens, and the Akarnanians despite its modest size.
